FAQs

Teravalis, meaning “land of the valley,“ is a 37,000-acre master planned community in Buckeye, Arizona, set between the White Tank and Belmont mountain ranges in the heart of the Phoenix West Valley. The first village, Floreo at Teravalis, is open today. New homes are for sale starting from the low $300s, with more than 50 floor plans from diverse homebuilders for every life stage, alongside seven parks and miles of connected trails. From resort-style recreation to gathering places, Teravalis boasts the elevated amenities and vibrant, connected lifestyle Howard Hughes Communities are known for across the country. At full buildout, Teravalis is planned for up to 113,000 homes, more than 7,000 acres of open space, and 62 million square feet of commercial development—a true complete community where daily life extends beyond the front door.
